Sobre la ruta

Explore the first part of the route at railway shelter no. 1. Begin with construction concealed under the Askania-Werke name, then examine the shelter's structure. The next three cards cover the Hitler-Mussolini meeting, the Soviet field hospital and the postwar mushroom farm. All five stories share a reference point at the main shelter; there is no need to visit other bunkers and return for the next topic.

Only then take the above-ground path and bridge over the Stępinka towards the road beside the machine room. Card 6 covers this technical shelter. Stay outside the fence: do not enter the closed grounds or the former underground channel.

The final card covers the protective infantry bunkers. Its reference point is the western shelter, further along the road. Explore it from the roadside, without entering private plots. After this section, the card sequence does not lead back to the railway shelter.
